MYSTERY OF RED HAIR.
THE CONCLUSIVE DEMONSTRATION
 MADE BY AN ARTIST.

MADE BY AN ARTIST. No Such . Thing Real Red Hair-The sunset Headed Maiden Is Never Stupid. Glowing Locks on the stage-In Lit- erature
 'tRed hairl There's no such thingl" exclaimed 8 young and wen known artist who has passed many days in sunny Italy the other afternoon as he prom enaded up Fifth avenue with an equally well known swell They had just come from lunching at Delmonico's at the swell's expense, and the latter had just remarked, after the manner of his kind: ssBy love, just. look at that wed headed girl crowssing ovah heahi she gives me n sunstroke, dontcher know"
 "Why don't people call colors by their proper names''' went on the exasperated artist as they passed the Brunswick.
 s'But, my deah fellah, dontcher know what Navy Anderson says, "A wose by any other name would smell as sweet and If wed hair isn't wed, why, it looks wed all the same," and as this logic seemed irrefutable there was silence until the two men disappeared within the DOT tals of the Knickerbocker club.
 The reporter, who had overheard this conversation, determined to unsolve the mystery of red hair, and at dusk sought the artist in his studio to find out what color red hair was. The artist was look ing picturesque and kind and was pleased to mix on his palette three different shades of red, three of yellow and three of brown.
 TWO OR THREE CoLoRs MIXED.
 ''Now," said he, with the air of the col lege professor who pauses to catch the class with some startling question, ''point me out the color that is like red hair. " The reporter couldn't do it. He lowered about the orange color as the small boy around the circus tent, but could not touch it. He almost singled out one of the sickly looking browns, but the reds he skipped entirely.
 ''Give it up"
 Thought you would" said the artist, condescendingly. "What people call red hair is mixture of two or three colors, according to the shade of red. Now, look here. If I dab my finger in this yellow and mix it with that red, what do gets'
 "Why, exactly the color of hair the girl had today.''
 ''I told you so," said the artist, "and don't let any one ever convince you that there is such thing as real red hair, Call it red if you choose, but don't think oi it as the same color as train lantern or 2 coaching parasol, because you will be way of. Adelaide Nelson had red hair, yor know, one of the most beautiful tints, anG Willie Winter spoke of it as the burnish ed gold that f1oated around her roya head, so if you choose to take that tern | You will be nearer the truth. "5 | 4 It is said by those who ought to know l. md no effe-fias- centraffcted the .sta4e ffnent, that a red haired girl is never { stupid girl. She is always quick of speeci and quick of action. Red hair bring. with it quick intelligence and general, | great sensibility.

 | STRONG, EMOTIONAL NATURE.
 Red hair always goes with strong, emo tional nature, and the red haired gir laughs and cries at the theatre when he black and yellow haired sisters sit silent She is creature quick to anger, easy t, please, Q lovable darling when she like | you, but sharper than @ two edged swort and as bitter as early gooseberries whel she doesn't.
 'Who are our red headed girls an, womsnT'
 Those on the stage are well known. Mrs Jsmes Brown Potter is perhaps the mos interesting. Her hair is considered he greatest beauty. It isn't the reddish red hair, but it looks like bronze, touchet with tint of golden flame here and there Mary Anderson, who has light brown hair by the way, raves over Mrs Potter's hai and wishes hers was like 1t.
 Kate Claxton has what is called req red hair-the bricky, carroty, dark re, tipt-but it is not bit unbecoming. Iii so soft and silken, so plentiful and curl in loose ringlets, and then it has been sucl a salvation to her, so she says. for whel fire meets fire they run apart, and sh owes her miraculous escapes from burning hotels to her ruddy hair.
 In the literary world red hair Is in tensely admired. Emerson loved 1t, Jame Whitcomb Riley has written many poem on it and in one calls it nut brown hai with golden gleam, and Dante Gabriel Rosetti's wife, who died when very young had hair of yellow red, long and curling He buried all his poems with her, but tn friends who had wished for his fame ha them removed few years afterwards an found that the beautiful red hair ha grown and twined itself all about tn manuscript.
 In our literary world of to-day there ar many women with red hair.
 In the social world there are many re headed girls and women who are bot bellies and beauties
 Among the great army of girls wh earn their living in the large dry good stores there are many with red hair whic society bellies would give great deal C money to possess. A lady artist gives few hints as t what colors red headed people shoul wear:
 "Those who have hair verging on brow look well in anything. Most red heade people should avoid crimson; pink is be coming to pale golden red hair and yer fair complexion; green of all shades to al shades of red hair; blue likewise; yelloy t to be avoided except by tlose with aubur1 hair; black especially becoming; also lav 3 ender. ."-New York Journal The London Zoo"
